Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 0 minutes
• Total Time: 20 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 medium cauliflower head, finely chopped
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1/4 cup dry bulgur wheat
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and core, then chop it into small, fine pieces until it resembles the texture of couscous. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to achieve this consistency.
2. In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped cauliflower, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and cucumber.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Pour this dressing over the vegetable mixture.
4. Add the bulgur wheat directly into the bowl. The moisture from the vegetables and dressing will soften the bulgur to perfection.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss the salad gently to ensure everything is well mixed.
6. Allow the tabbouleh to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
7. Serve the Cauliflower Tabbouleh in a large bowl and enjoy!

Helpful Tips:

If you’re short on time, substitute dry bulgur with pre-cooked quinoa for a quicker version. You can also add a dash of pomegranate seeds for a burst of color and sweetness.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors continue to develop beautifully over time.

Pairings:

This Cauliflower Tabbouleh pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or falafel. For a complete meal, serve alongside warm pita bread and a side of hummus. A refreshing mint tea or a chilled glass of lemon water makes a delightful drink pairing.
